Comment: “I hate reading things on the computer, especially books, but it's so nice that I don't have to photocopy them or buy them. I appreciate it when profs put the books online as an alternative to making us buy them at the bookstore. If we have short readings, it's not to much of a problem for my eyes.”

Comment:” Hard to read but great when someone has checked out the paper copy.”

Comment: “Technology itself is a neutral entity; it will not make bad teachers good, or vice versa. There are some specific skills (data manipulation, etc) that require computer use and these classes benefit from having the most current technology available.”

Comment: “Doesn't matter how much technology you use, if the professor is not clear you won't grasp the material.”

Comment: “I feel like any more technology would be annoying and restrict learning. Some of the most effective professors I have had simply write on the board.”

“I can write faster by good old pen and paper. Just need practice but I don’t feel taking notes of important quick lectures is a good time to practice.”

“It is easier to use a pen & paper.”

“I’m not the fastest typer so I tend not to bring it to class. I do however, transcribe most of my notes to the computer outside of class. Also I ride my bike to class & worry about the weight, crashing, rain, etc.”

“I use it a lot to input pictures into my notes. I probably should use it instead of paper in class, but I get lots of use out of it at home.”
